What are the main considerations when choosing screening equipment?

The screening equipment plays a crucial role in the entire crushing production line. Appropriate screening equipment can not only improve the production efficiency of the production line, but also improve the quality of products and increase the revenue of the enterprise. So the question is, how should we choose the screening equipment that is suitable for our production line?

Basic principles for equipment selection
1. Construction cycle
The construction period is long. For projects with relatively concentrated gravel usage, fixed combined crushing and screening equipment should be selected; For projects with short construction cycles and relatively dispersed gravel usage, especially long-term projects such as highways, it is suitable for mobile combined crushing and screening equipment.

2. Stone specifications
If the stone raw materials are complex and of varying sizes, pre screening equipment is required; If the size of the finished product is relatively large, use a sieve with a larger specification size.

3. Stone properties
The stone is relatively hard, and a screen with strong wear resistance should be used; Stone has corrosiveness, so it is necessary to use screen materials with strong corrosion resistance.

Notes on equipment selection

1) Preliminary expenses.
The upfront cost refers to the early investment required for the normal operation of the equipment, such as the hiring and training of relevant personnel, packaging, calibration, certification, etc.

2) Equipment total price and payment method.
The price and payment method of equipment are often key factors for financially constrained enterprises, directly related to the continuity of the project.

3) Installation and relocation costs.
The total cost of equipment entry, installation, and relocation, plus the cost of demolition, relocation, and cleaning. The installation cost includes the cost of basic reinforced concrete materials, labor costs, and lifting coordination equipment costs.

4) Operating expenses.
In addition to the work shift cost, parking shift cost, and equipment maintenance cost of the screening system, it should also include blasting production and operation costs.
